1. Purpose

Our goal is to provide accurate, reliable information about nursing education, training, admission, and career guidance. We understand the critical importance of trust in educational content and are committed to ensuring factual correctness in all published materials.

2. Editorial Responsibility

  • Every article, guideline, or announcement is prepared by knowledgeable staff or verified experts.

  • All clinical and educational claims are cross-checked with current standards (e.g., INC/NMC guidelines, university curricula).

3. Source Verification

To confirm the credibility of information presented:

  • We rely on reputable sources—peer‑reviewed journals, government/nursing board publications, recognized accrediting bodies, and official academic institutions.

  • Whenever possible, we link to or cite primary sources (e.g., regulatory documents, university placements, official notices).

4. Fact‑Checking Workflow

  1. Draft Review — Initial content is drafted by an author with subject knowledge.

  2. Review & Verification — A second team member (or subject‑matter expert) independently reviews all facts and citations.

  3. Pre‑publication Sign‑off — The finalized piece must be approved by an editorial lead, confirming all claims have been verified.

5. Citation & Transparency

  • Each factual statement tied to data, statistics, admission processes, or policy references is clearly cited with source attribution (e.g., “as per Nursing Council of India report, 2024”).

  • We provide hyperlinks to official documents, research, or policies where possible.

6. Corrections & Updates

If inaccuracies are found—either by internal review or user feedback—we will:

  • Promptly correct the content or remove unsupported claims.

  • Add a “Last Updated” timestamp to the piece, noting the change.

  • Maintain a transparent edits log summarizing what changed and when.

7. Reader Feedback

We encourage users—students, educators, professionals—to flag any suspected errors or outdated information. You can contact us at [Insert contact email]. Your input helps us maintain high standards of accuracy.

8. Source Reliability Scale

Not all sources hold equal weight. We rank sources like this:

Tier Source Type Reliability
1 Official bodies (Nursing Council, universities, regulatory documents) Very High
2 Peer‑reviewed journals, accredited training institutes High
3 News media coverage, reputable health education blogs Medium
4 User‑generated content, unsourced claims Low – Not acceptable unless independently verified

9. Handling Deliberate Misinformation

We do not tolerate misleading, false, or deceptive content. Any instance of this found in external citations or within user‑submitted content will be clearly marked, challenged, and corrected.

10. Policy Review

This Fact‑Checking Policy is reviewed annually (or more frequently if necessary) to incorporate evolving best practices in journalism and educational integrity.
